About Dr. Sameer Anand
With over twenty-six years in the field, Dr. Sameer Anand has basically spent his career mastering the human spine. He also picked up highly specialized training in minimally invasive spine procedures across Austria and Singapore, bringing those advanced tissue-sparing techniques back to India with him.
Beyond the spine, he handles a ton of general orthopedics. Aggressively manages severe musculoskeletal trauma and uses keyhole arthroscopy to get athletes back on the field.

Patient Experience & Approach
Patients terrified of major back surgery say Dr. Sameer Anand completely changes the conversation by bringing up ozone discectomy first.

His UK trauma training really shows up in the ER, keeping everyone incredibly calm while setting realistic expectations about recovery timelines.
